Yes, most of us know about that feature... err, umm, I suppose that qualifies as a bug. Actually, that is WHY we use click assignment, to avoid problems like this in the Type Into Score feature. You are absolutely right, that the tool behaves badly, and we have simply opted to waltz around the problem. Same for "voices", I learned here on the list never to touch them, and to use layers instead, even though it is one of the first topics in the tutorials. I learned about the "misuse" of verses here on the list too, and it worked, so I gave up complaining. I also gave up complaining about the size of the Chord Suffix Edit window, the fact that I can't add a chord symbol anywhere in the measure I like without adding and hiding an entry in another layer, about how I had to re-jig my whole working procedure to suit the darn computer, and a number of other things. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
